August Favourites ♥

Hey girlie's!!!

I cant quite believe its that time again.... August favourites time. I honestly cant believe how quick August has gone but i have to say I'm now getting super excited for autumn to arrive i just cant wait. Anywhoo... I thought i would share with you all my favourite beauty products I've been loving throughout this past month... So here goes...

Maybelline Baby Lips in Cherry Me

I adore 'Cherry Me' out of the UK's Baby Lips collection, id say its definitely the best of the bunch for me. Its super moisturising, smells delicious and has good pigmentation for a tinted lip balm. I also love the fact these aren't in little pots where you have to apply the balm to your lips with your finger making these alot more hygienic especially for on the go applications. Ive also noticed that my lips feel so much smoother than before and i can see myself repurchasing 'Cherry Me' over and over again. I have reviewed the whole collection of the Baby Lips, you can have a read here.

L'oreal Super Liner in Black Lacquer

Over the last couple of months I've really been getting into wearing eyeliner on my top lash line and winging it out sometimes but this is something I've struggled to master for quite some time, I've tried lots of different liquid liners in the past and so far this 'L'oreal Super Liner' has to be the best and the most easy to use. The applicator lets you apply thin or thick lines with ease and makes creating flicks/wings really simple, its also super long lasting and totally smudge proof, once its on it ain't budging so you have to work quick. I will be reviewing this in full soon so look out for that.

Max Factor Wild Mega Volume Mascara in Black

I love this mascara, even after buying other mascara's recently i always find myself going back to this one. It gives me just the right amount of volume for a general day to day mascara but the thing i love about it the most is the staying power, it literally doesn't budge all day long which is something i always want from a mascara as theres nothing worse than a flaky smudgy mascara. I have reviewed this in full so feel free to click here and have a read. 

Radox Shower Smoothies in Tropical Tranquillity

Now this is quite a different thing for me to put in my favourites as usually i swear by the Soap & Glory Clean On Me shower gel but i was coming to the end of that so when i was in Superdrug i saw that the 'Radox Shower Smoothie' range was on offer for 74p, i smelt the other 3 in the range but decided on 'Tropical Tranquility' a coconut scented shower smoothie with little pieces of crushed almonds and myrrh inside. It feels so soft and gentle on the skin and the almonds act like a gentle exfoliante, it also makes your skin smell gorgeous after your shower too.

Burberry Tender Touch Ea De Parfum 50ml

I adore this Burberry perfume and its most definitely one of my signature scents, I've been using this throughout spring and summer as it has such a lovely sweet floral scent to it and as you can see i only have a very small amount left (sad face). Ive also noticed that i get lots of compliments when wearing this so it seems to be a well liked scent too. 

What's been your favourite beauty products this month?? I'd love to know :)

MUA Mosaic Blush in English Rose | Review

Hey girlie's!!!

I stumbled across this blush on the MUA stand in Superdrug recently, now I've never seen this mosaic style blush on the MUA stand in my Superdrug before, they've always had the bronzers but never the blush so considering it was a bargain of only £2.50 i thought it would be rude not to try it, so i made a cheeky purchase. 

I chose 'English Rose' which i believe to be the only mosaic style blush MUA do, it contains lots of little segments and within each segment are different shades of pink with the odd lilac shade thrown into the mix, all the shades within the mosaic have a pearl/shimmer finish with no matte or glitter particles running through any of the little segments at all.

For me, i prefer to use this blush as a highlighter, it leaves too much of a pearl finish for me to use as a blush but it makes the most gorgeous pink toned highlighter, it really reminds me of a powder version of Benefits High Beam. When i swirled my finger around all the segments for a swatch the pigmentation does look quite strong but when used with a brush it goes on alot more sheer and shimmery therefore giving you more of a highlight affect however... If you like a shimmery blush then this would look really pretty once you've built up some colour.

As for the packaging... It doesn't really differ from most of the MUA range, its cheap and cheerful and does the job although as with the little £1 blushes i do find the packaging difficult to open, there's certainly no chance that they will open in your handbag that's for sure. All in all i do really like the blush used as a highlight, its really pretty and certainly affordable. Have your tried any of the MUA Mosaic Range??? What did you think???

Cocoa Brown 1 Hour Tan | Review

 

From L to R, Before, After the hour, After showering the tan off. 

Hey girlie's!!!

Personally before i tried Cocoa Brown Tan i was never a fake tan lover, i always thought it was just too much hassle, unpredictable and hardly ever natural looking for me so with all those combined it had put me off for years however... After trying the Cocoa Brown Tan i have been converted and would say its the best and my most favourite tan by far. 

Cocoa Brown Tan by Marissa Carter is a fairly new self tan that exploded onto the Irish market and has took Ireland by storm with its fabulous results, affordable price and the fact that you can have a gorgeous looking tan within an hour. The tan has a mocha coloured  mousse formula with a lovely floral scent so no awful fake tan smell, its light weight, fast drying, non sticky and gives streak free results that lasts up to five days, what more could you ask for.

There's so many pros with this tan for me and not a single con, happy days. Firstly, the packaging is just gorgeous, i love its hot pink design and even when this arrived on my door step it came in a large pink padded envelope which just adds to the excitement for me. Then on to the application, i used the Cocoa Brown Self Tan Applicator Mitt its super easy to use and has a protective barrier inside so you wont get any awful stains on your nails or hands whilst applying, it blended in really quick and even with not a streak in sight, even my boyfriend said it was easy to use as he helped me get to the hard to reach places. After the application i waiting just over an hour for the tan to develop and during this time my skin never felt tacky or sticky which is one thing i was worried about but nope, no problems there and it smells amazing. Just after the hour i hopped in the shower to rinse the tan off and i was left with the most beautiful natural looking tan, there was not an orange tinge in sight it was just a gorgeous natural colour, it hadn't clung to my knee's, feet or ankles and was streak free, i love it.

I would definitely recommend this for newbies to the tanning world as its just so easy and quick to use, i love the fact that if your looking for a natural looking radiant glow you can just leave this tan on for an hour to develop or if your looking for a deeper darker tan you can leave on for up to 3 hours, the choice is yours.

Cocoa Brown Tan is available on the feelunique website and in selected Primark stores. 

Happy Tanning Girlie's !!!
